Tasting Notes
This is a stunning single vineyard Semillon made 100% from the Blackberry vineyard, one of the region’s rare sandy soil vineyards that the very best Semillons are grown on.
A tight and refined wine with layers of citrus and lime peel. An elegant and long palate balanced by natural and pristine fruit flavours, built on a finely structured acid backbone.

Winemaker of the Year 2025, James Halliday Wine CompanionScores
97 / 100"Deep yellow colour and lively. Aromatics are classic, lemon-buttered toast and cashews. Astonishingly fresh. On a great trajectory. Cured lemons, the acidity still bracing; time open liberates its fountain of youth. Worth seeking out 07 May 2019"

"Fulfils most of the expectations held for it as a 1yo when tasted by Campbell Mattinson in Feb '15. It's more robust and complex than its Reserve sibling, with hints of grapefruit along with the more usual lemon. Both have time to go, but this is the wine I would drink tonight."
